Hoopdance!  No, that’s not the exclamation one says when at a Greek drinking celebration.  It is a combination of hula-hooping and dance, although the hoops are larger and heavier than the childhood toy.  It is great fun,  it is fabulous exercise, and  it is a great way to build core strength, get an intense low impact cardio workout and increase your energy. Hooping also develops balance and co-ordination.  It is enormously popular on the west coast, and now it is offered locally at Sharon Fit Belly Dance and Group Fitness Studio!  Sharon Fit

Skeptical?  Intrigued?  Well, now is your chance to come out and play and give it a try.  On Monday, September 2nd, (Labor Day), from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM, at Nomahegan Park, Sharon Sutera, owner and operator of Sharon Fit Studio, is hosting a Labor Day Hoop Jam!  If you have your own hoop, bring it, but if you don’t, no worries.  You can rent one of Sharon’s for a suggested $2 donation. Sharon brings the music, the hoop tricks, the experience, the music, and the fun!  The more the merrier, so bring some friends along!  Experienced hoopers and newbie hoopers are equally welcome, and there will be lots of help for newcomers to get you a-hoopin.’   Sharon is sure to make it a fun, upbeat hoopdance experience, and what’s better than having fun while getting fit?

Go ahead.  Give it a “whirl!”
